R. HODGE, OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

PERCOLATOR-STAND.

Application filed May 19,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LESLIE R. HUDGE, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improve ments in Percolator-Stands, of which the following is a secification.

This invention relates to table articles and more particularly to an urn or percolator stand.

The object of the invention is to provide a stand constructed to hold a container stationary relatively thereto and equipped with a drip catcher for use in connection with an urn.

Another object is to provide a stand of this character so constructed as to retain a spout equipped container having feet in stationary position thereon and also to hold a vessel to receive drip from said container said drip receiver being designed to support a cup or other receptacle adapted to receive the contents from the container through the spout.

Another object is to provide a stand of this character which is not only constructed to hold a container against casual movement but also forms an ornament for the table.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claim, and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the stand embodying this invention shown ap plied. V

Fig. 2 isan enlarged plan view thereof.

Fig. 8 is a central longitudinal section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view of the drip receiver.

In the embodiment illustrated the stand 1 constituting this invention is constructed'of any suitable material preferably of wood about three-fourths of an inch thick and stained or finished in any desired manner. This stand may be of any desired configuration being preferably made in the form of a Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 30, 1921. 1921. Serial No. 470,813.

shamrock as shown in Fig. 2 and is provided in its upper face with a plurality of sockets 2, three being here shown positioned in the form of a triangle to receive the feet F of a coffee urn or percolator U, which is usually constructed with three legs or feet.

The urn or percolator U here shown is of ordinary construction and provided with the usual oppositely disposed handles as H and a faucet or spout S through which the contents are designed to be drawn at will.

A larger recess 3 preferably circular in form, although not necessarily so, is formed in advance of the sockets 2 in proper position to receive and support a cup to be placed below the faucet S to receive coffee or other liquid therefrom. This recess 3 has a removable drip receiver 4 mounted therein and which extends some distance abovethe top of the recess and is equipped at its upper end with a foraminous closure 5 which may be of brass screen wire or the like and the receiver may be composed of any suitable liquid tight material preferably of metal and is designed to catch the drip from the faucet S or from the cup 0 which is designed to rest on the closure 5 when being filled.

It is well known that coffee urns or percolators which are mounted on feet have a tendency to upset and this improved stand is designed to prevent such an accident as well as to form an ornament for the table While this stand is described as preferably composed of wood obviously it may be constructed of any suitable material such as papier mach or the like.

From the above it will be obvious that this improved stand may be very cheaply constructed or more expensively according to the material from which it is made and prising a substantially isosceles triangular plate having an arm extending from one edge thereof midway its ends, said plate having sockets in the two corners nearest said arm, and another in the free end of said arm to receive the legs of the article to be supported, the other corner of said plate havlng an enlarged recess in its upper face and a removable drip cup mounted in said recess and having a foraminous closure at 10 its upper end to support a cup in position to receive the contents of the urn.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature hereto.

LESLIE R. HODGE.
